Mach4 General Discussion / Geared AC Servo spinde setup.

« on: September 26, 2017, 07:00:36 AM »

Hello. Apparently i am not very good at searching, so i want to ask guru`s. We are converting cnc machine with mate. For spindle we have 1.8kW ac spindle with belt and pulleys. So when motor is rotating at 3000 rpm, output is 5000rpm. But i don`t know, how to set up Mach4 to understand that. Has it to be done by scripts or by setting i cannot see?

Thank you and sorry my bad English.

Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 Arduino outputs.

« on: June 04, 2016, 08:07:37 AM »

Hello, guru`s. Was reading around a little bit, and wondering are you more CNC operators or mainly programmers? I would like to get some extra physical outputs from Mach4, but it seems to be far too complicated for my brain. Too much programming involved. I know bare minimum of Arduino and less of Mach4 programming. But as i understand, shouldn`t be too difficult to send signals from Mach4 to Arduino using ModBus. If any kind person could help me with this, i would be very happy. Mainly what i want is, say on alarm, i have it displayed on LED matrix screen, or probe hit, etc.

Sorry for english as well, Thank you.

The probe is working in diagnostics tab, led is turning on and off, whem touching with finger. Is there anything specific to set up except settings tab?

I have tried that as well. Then i have "No contact With probe". I had it working on Mach3, but my router never moves in Mach4, all i can get is "probe obstructed" or "no contact with with probe".

Mach4 General Discussion / Probe obstructed error

Hi. First of all, two excuses from me: my english is not very good, and i`m absolute newbie in CNC world. I started to build my router nearly year ago, and it is not fully finished yet.
Anyway, i moved from GRBL to Csmio/m and brought Mach4 license.  Had a christmas gift from boss - digital probe. Spent all my holidays trying to get it working, but unsuccessful.
When i open probing tab, and click any of buttons, i`m getting "probe obstructed" error. There is nothing about this on Google. I would like to be able to find material edges and if i could sort out how to get a cloud from some parts, i will be extremely happy. Thank you for reading this, happy to see any replies.
